Jardin Botánico Nacional is Chile’s national botanical garden. It covers an area of 40 hectares and is home to over 3,000 native and exotic plants species. The park is a great place to enjoy a relaxing walk and picnic. The gardens were badly damaged by wildfires a few years ago so barbecues and open fires are strictly forbidden.

Jardin Botánico Nacional is located on the outskirts of town and you will need to take a bus or car to get there. Take bus no. 20 from Avenida Vianna and get off at the bus terminal in El Salto. Cross the El Olivar bridge and walk for about 10 minutes. The gardens are on your left.
